The Franklinton New Era says
"a great newspaper reader was out
hunting recently, and a storm coming
up he crcpt into a hollow log Cor
shelter. After the storm abatcd he
cndeavorcd to crawl out, but found
that the log had swcllcd so that it
was impossible to mako his exit. He
s%ndeayored to compress himself as
much as possible, but with Indifferent
success. He thought OF oil the mean
things he had ever done, until finally
his mind reverted to the fact that
instead Of subscribing for his local
paper he was in the habit Of borrow.
ing it from his neighbor, and thus
defraudiug the printer. On this he
felt so small that he slipped out Of
the log without On effort

OF all the himsy, silly charges
urged against Governor Nichols by
the Riugsters in their blind malice
is, that he pardoned Felix Grow, a
former client Of his. The States,
especially, is jubilant over this proof
of Governor Nichols perfdity, and
struts around it as proudly asa boy
with his first pair OF boots. Now,
in all reason, what is there in this
charge? Will any one familiar with
the blind, laundering manner juries
SO often mete out justice, ever under
the most favorable circumstances,
pretend to assert that under Repub-
lican regime, and in a Republican
parish, that such a thing as an unjust
verdict was an impossibility That
Governor Nichols perverted the
truth in saying Grow was ~unjustly
convicted Away with such soph.

Not n Waterloo, hut Manassas.

Our friends of the Times Democrat
are jubilant over what they are
pleased to term a Waterloo defeat
for the Re.ormers in the Sixth Dis.
trict Congressional Convention. We
imagine our cratic friends historical
application is at fault with facts. It
is not we'll TO shout yourself hoarse
and tear your shirt so early in the
conflict. Waterloo; if memory serves
US right, was not the opening, but
rather the closing battle Of the
great Napoleon's campaigns. But
while historical comparisons are in
order, may we inquire if the I'D.
remembers the sanguine hopes Of
the fire.eaters away back in July,
1861, when the Federal host had
fled in dismay and defeat before
Beauregsrd and Johnston at Man,
assas? Have you forgot the boasts
that the victorious army would soon
pitch their tents on Bunker Hill :?
Well, friends, that battle told in
s%tentorian tones that the North had
to deal with a dangerous foe. 1t
ncrved them to a struggle unpar-
al|eled in history, and so it shall be
with this defeat. It convinces the
people that political schemers are at
work to destroy their liberties, and
they will give Jim Houston and his
cohorts a Waterloo defeat indeed at
the nominating convention. Remem-
Der the first battle of Manassas.
Our brothers, the editors of the
Sentinel and Signal, over at Rayue,
have for some time kept up a lively
sparring at each other. Such sports
are amusing for awhile, but kept up
too long become distasteful to our
readers. So, without intending to
be odicious. we would mildly suggest
that a more conciliatory spirit be
cultivated, and that the talents of
the rival editors be directed into a
more useful channel. In union there
is strength; why not then unite in
trying to devise schemes for benefit.
